“When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.” These lines by Eleanor Roosevelt sum up the philosophy that MMT Foundation is based on. A public charitable trust, The MMT Foundation owned by India’s leading online travel company MakeMyTrip has been set up to actively and passionately contribute towards issues of broader social impact.

Be the Change

‘Be the Change’ is a charity initiative run by MakeMyTrip’s MMT Foundation. Created with a vision to impact the society and the environment positively, the initiative is focused on offsetting our carbon footprints and promoting sustainable tourism. We can’t transform into reality such a mammoth dream alone. We need your support to help us bring about a meaningful ‘change’ in your and our society. So please lead the movement along with us and help us bring about a revolution by donating.

Save the Environment

The average individual’s total carbon footprint is a whopping 50,000 pounds a year! And this includes the emissions from your home, car, air travel and everything else you use. We are all responsible for climate change and we all must be a part

Save the Environment

The average individual’s total carbon footprint is a whopping 50,000 pounds a year! And this includes the emissions from your home, car, air travel and everything else you use. We are all responsible for climate change and we all must be a part of the solution. A large tree inhales 20.3 kgs of CO2 in a year and exhales enough oxygen for a family of four. Saplings make trees. So, help us plant as many saplings as possible because by doing so you will offset the carbon emissions of your entire life. Yes, it’s true!

Make Tourism Sustainable

Let us come together to fight the results of mass tourism—the loss of cultural heritage, social dislocation, and most unfortunately—ecological degradation. Sustainable tourism is aimed at maximising benefits and minimising these negative environmental and social impacts. Benefits include new infrastructure, foreign exchange profits, extending support to local communities and job creation. One of the most important aspects, however, is safeguarding living culture and artistic heritage and ensuring sanitation and cleanliness of the surroundings. And all of this, we can’t affect without you.

Lead Community Welfare

There is a dire need to provide a minimum level of income and other support for disadvantaged groups such as the poor, elderly, disabled, students, minor children, and the like. Working on this need, we have undertaken rural development and slum area re-development projects and activities in the fields of child education, cyber bullying, and health and child rights. We are also working towards the benefits of armed forces veterans and war widows, and promoting education and skill building including special education and employment enhancing vocation skills—especially among children, women, differently abled and the elderly. Join the movement to make it a larger revolution.

How we allocate fund

Collections made towards this initiative will be directed by MMT foundation to NGO’s and other social-activism groups who support the causes we are raising our voice and joining our hands for. MMT Foundation would also be deploying its resources in supporting this cause. Every rupee you contribute would go towards making a difference!

“When everybody contributes a change to what he or she notices, it is then we will change our world.”
